Cool Tools resident artist, Karen Trexler studied metalsmithing and jewelry design in college and received a BFA from Ball State University. Karen then continued her studies at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, and received her MFA in the spring of 2018 before joining the Cool Tools team.

In this video, Karen shows how to create a ring using a fine silver embeddable snap-set prong setting. Snap settings can be embedded into any silver any fired into place with a fireable gemstone. This ring is made with three bands that she creates using the snake maker technique.
